Thank you Cody....cody6268 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 08, 2024 10:27 pmNo, not at all. I'm not one to pay attention to values, but you'd end up paying more for each one of them than you paid total (though, I'm guessing shipping and buyer's premiums were in that too).
Awesome pair! Mine are both '70s era, but the same patterns. I inherited the Eisenhower from my Granddad, and I got the 5233 from Bladebuddy during this past POS Exchange.
The small text says "Windlass Swords Made in India"--they make a lot of repro stuff for reenactors and such. It was discontinued some years back and was about $150 new.Corn Creek Cutlery wrote: ↑Thu Jan 18, 2024 1:26 am I won this at an online auction today, should have it next week. Does anyone have any info on it or the company? Internet didn't give me much. Looks like a good sturdy bowie, but will know when I get it in hand. 10" blade / 15" overall. Many thanks for any info!
Thanks cody for that info! That helps tremendously. I thought I had it at $40, but ended up giving $80 ... someone else wanted it too. Be the first India made for me.cody6268 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 18, 2024 2:35 amThe small text says "Windlass Swords Made in India"--they make a lot of repro stuff for reenactors and such.

The website says it's a reproduction of an 1880 Bowie Knife based on those made in England for export to the US. I do know if "Imperial Sword Co." of London was an actual firm; or simply something they made up--since most of the trademarks to the most venerable Sheffield cutlers are still active.

According to a 2003 catalog, this is a Cuda Quik-Action Jr. (just over 4" closed compared to the full-size at 5") Spear-point. ATS-34 blade and G-10 handles.
Aside from the simple Medium Sierra lockbacks (which I like for around the house--plus, they can still be had new for MSRP), I think this is the first "tactical" Camillus that I've got. This one operates similarly to an automatic--slide the button forward, and it opens. Since it's beat up, it will become an EDC. I'm sure this thing will be a dream in the cold weather with my gloves on.
Will need to get more Tuf-Glide. I've found that most of my newer folders (CRKT IKBS knives especially) just gum up when I use 3-in-1, but Tuf-Glide allows them to become pretty smooth. Having to go over my late grandfather's collection and forgetting to put the cap back on a few times made it go much faster than expected.

Is this a Wright & Wilhelmy made by Boker, Tom? What's the length? Cool pattern.
Timeframe maybe?
